A shack fire in Komani killed two elderly Eastern Cape residents, aged 90 and 82.
The pair died on Friday night, according to provincial police spokesperson Capt Namhla Mdleleni.
“On Saturday, police were summoned to a scene of a shack that was engulfed in flames at Nomzamo area in Mlungisi, Komani,” said Mdleleni.
“After the fire was extinguished, two bodies — of a man aged 90 and an 82-year-old woman — were found in the ambers. Their identities are withheld until the formal identification process is concluded.”
Mdleleni stated that the cause of the fire has yet to be determined.
“Police opened inquest dockets for further investigation,” said Mdleleni.
